Today Raffi and Mik shoveled snow at St. Joes, did some math, reading and writing, and Raffi went to Let's Play.

Some notes on today:
Writing:
- If I write the letters further away from each other, raffi can recognize the words more and miss out on less letters
-Words the still need improvement one: labels (lables), Brunswick (Brunswck), Richmond (Ricmond), Francisco (Franisco) and lazy
-Letters and numbers to work on: 5 and 6, b and d, u and a, 2 and z
- Raffi also still finds it dificult to write his address and still goes over the water, although less frequently now

Reading and Comprehension:
- Identification of drawings is excellent (ex. having a drawing of a cat and and a dog and him trying to read what he should look for and idnetify it)

Math:
- When asked to fill the blanks on the numberical sequence of 1-10 he finds not too much difficulty in doing it, AS LONG AS HE IS FOCUSED

- In the end, if Raffi focuses he knows his stuff. So right now I'm just trying to figure out what he doesn't know or what he doesn't try hard enough to remember.
